I am looking to find out what the differences are in headliners between the STD and DX models.. For one I am aware that the STD only came with a rear view mirror and the DX came with the seat belt indicator in front of the rear view mirror.. I am looking to see if someone can provide a good pictured of and STD model of the area around the rear view mirror to see if the headliners mold is the same.. Let me know thanks.

 

My 91 STD has the seat belt indicator in front of the mirror. Not sure how that affects your statement but just saying maybe there's no difference? I'd be willing to bet it's really a difference of sunroof vs non sunroof.

 

88-89 are different from 90-91 iirc.

Op, what year is yours?

 

Hmm.. my DX is a 90... I've heard that STD models also don't have grab handles in the back?

 

that might be true as mine doesnt have them. also no little hanger hooks. whereas i've seen them on dx models

 

Black R- Good catch pointing that out.

Mine has the hooks but no handles.

 

Ok.. so still different variations between the available option maybe could of been dealer installed as a request.. really would just like a pic of that area around the rear view mirror to see if its the same from my DXfor a 90-91 model.. Mine has like a stepped molded area and think maybe the STD may have a flat area?

 

I have a 91 si and an 88 std, so I can snap some pics for you.

 

Thanks! I would really appreciate that

 

ihave a 91 std and it has that seat indicator.

here's another thread about the same thing

well my 89 si hatch doesn't have the seat belt indicator in the roof. but my friends 90 dx hatch does have it. we both have hanger hooks and handles.

thats because like most all other ef's, theres a main difference between 88-89 and 90-91 years. the later half( for hatches) had door mounted seatbelts and thats why the indicator exists whereas the earlier hatches had pillar mounted seatbelts. having the door open meant you werent really buckled in and was a safety concern so thats why the indicator again.

 

that's the best explanation yet to be said ^

but what about the map dome light from access Honda accessories? would that be special.is it possible to hook up on 88-89 models ?

im probably wrong but civic at least older ones didnt have that option. i know integras and new ex civics had that option but yes u can wire it in. pretty easy too. i would go after a DC integra one as it has dual output selection vs a civic one which lights up the entire light.
